Manufacturer Narrative

The fabius service log file was analyzed.On the reported date of event an entry was found showing that the power supply has not delivered the required +28v resulting in an automatic switch to battery supply accompanied with the corresponding alarm.In the following the device posted additional alarms to indicate the remaining battery charge of 20% and 10% to the user until finally the device completely shut off due to depleted batteries.According to the log the user had enough time to react on the situation.Root cause for the missing +28v can be a disconnection of the power cord, a faulty power supply or a malfunction of the hospitals mains supply.Based on the log evaluation the exact root cause could not be determined.A review of the complete log file covering 1.5 years revealed that power supply problems occurred repeatedly in the past without initiating further measures as the issue remained.According to the log the last service was performed in november 2017.It is recommended to check the power supply on-site and to perform service as required.Finally it can be concluded that the device reacted as specified on the detected power supply failure by posting corresponding alarms, switching to battery supply and informing the user about the remaining battery charge.
